Languages Information Proposed by
Anglais Desert Rats is the second entry in R. T. Smith's World War II trilogy, including Arnhem and Vulcan. It simulates the North Africa Campaign in 1941-42 commencing with the arrival of Rommel in Tripoli and ends with the Battle of El Alamein. The bitter campaign includes Operations Battleaxe and Crusader and the Battle of Gazala. The game is named after the men of the 7th Armoured Division who were known as the Desert Rats after adopting a 'gerbil' as their insignia. Several versions like DOS and ZX Spectrum 128K includes two additional scenarios: Operation Compass and the Battle of Beda Fomm (December 1940-February 1941).

The gameplay is shown on a scrolling map by turns. Players select the units and give them orders to hold position, move to, fortify, or assault. Units move on the grid of rectangular cells. The balance of battles may be adjusted by Malta Status (Historical, Operation Hercules, Not used as base) as well. Historically, Montgomery defeated Rommel at El Alamein, and it is player's opportunity to alter the history making it sooner or vice versa.

Français Desert Rats est le deuxième volet de la trilogie de la Seconde Guerre mondiale de R. T. Smith, qui comprend Arnhem et Vulcan. Il simule la campagne d'Afrique du Nord en 1941-42, qui commence avec l'arrivée de Rommel à Tripoli et se termine avec la bataille d'El Alamein. La campagne amère comprend les opérations Battleaxe et Crusader et la bataille de Gazala. Le jeu porte le nom des hommes de la 7e division blindée qui étaient connus sous le nom de "Rats du désert" après avoir adopté une "gerbille" comme insigne. Plusieurs versions comme DOS et ZX Spectrum 128K incluent deux scénarios supplémentaires : Operation Compass et la bataille de Beda Fomm (décembre 1940-février 1941).nnnnLe jeu se déroule sur une carte qui défile à tour de rôle. Les joueurs sélectionnent les unités et leur donnent l'ordre de tenir leur position, de se déplacer, de se fortifier ou de monter à l'assaut. Les unités se déplacent sur une grille de cases rectangulaires. L'équilibre des batailles peut être ajusté par le statut de Malte (historique, opération Hercules, non utilisé comme base). Historiquement, Montgomery a battu Rommel à El Alamein, et c'est au joueur de modifier l'histoire pour la rendre plus rapide ou vice versa.
